TiO2 is one of the most useful materials to decompose organic substances using photocatalytic oxidation. What final products of photocatalytic oxidation over TiO2 do you expect for the following two substances: phenyl isothiocyanate and trinitrotoluene, assuming complete mineralization of these compounds in photocatalytic processes? Write a chemical formula for a whole reaction for each compound and explain the reactions.
